10/28/2014 Update:
The new code was tested against Apache Flex 4.11, although they should work with Adobe Flex 4.5 and later.
These new components were added:
* AutoCompleteMultiSelect: An AutoComplete component that allows for multiple items to be selected in the drop down.
* CheckboxAutoCompleteRenderer: An AutoComplete renderer that displays the selected AutoComplete item along with a Checkbox.
* DropDownListMultiSelectSkin: A Skin the AutoCompleteMultiSelect that does not allow for AutoComplete, essentially turning the component into a DropDownListMultiSelect.
* AutoCompleteMultiSelectSkin: A Skin the AutoCompleteMultiSelect that allows for AutoComplete. This is the default skin.
To use the AutoCompleteMultiSelect, you can do this:
<flextras:AutoCompleteMultiSelect itemRenderer="spark.flextras.autoCompleteMultiSelect.renderers.CheckboxAutoCompleteRenderer"/>
To use the AutoCompleteMultiSelect as a DropDownList without AutoComplete functionality, you can do this:
<flextras:AutoCompleteMultiSelect skinClass="spark.flextras.autoCompleteMultiSelect. DropDownListMultiSelectSkin"
itemRenderer="spark.flextras.autoCompleteMultiSelect.renderers.CheckboxAutoCompleteRenderer"/>
The build instructions below have not changed.

1) Create a Flash Builder Library Project
2) Put the Spark directory from this repository into the Flash Builder Library Project’s source directory.
3) Include design.xml and manifest.xml in project [Optional]
a. Bring up project properties on your Library Project
b. Select Flex Library Build Path
c. Select Assets
d. Select design.xml and manifest.xml
4) Set up namespace URL [Optional]:
a. Bring up project properties on your Library Project
b. Select Flex Library Compiler
c. Click Browse next to manifest file; and select the manifest file on your disc
d. Enter “http://www.flextras.com/mxml” in the namespace URL box
